How to know when the juice box needs to be charged? The manual says: "The charging lights flashing, a few lights when fully charged." What?

when all the lights are dead, so is the unit. Charge it. When all the lights are fully on, its fully charged. when lights are flashing, either the unit is charging or you are charging something else from the unit.

Hello Julie, my take on this is the device needs charging when only one of the four LEDs is on - if the Juice Box is near to being totally flat then the last LED will flash and the device will certainly need charging. Hope this helps. Paul

When charging, the red light only turns off automatically (and the device stops charging) if the switch on the side is off as well. If you only turn off the top button, it'll keep trying to charge. Don't wait for an amber light indicating that the battery is fully charged... I find that to be misleading... at least it has never happened to me.

usually when you charge it , it should have a blue / red light that pops up. if it doesnt, it can be broken or you didn't charge the charger yet (:

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty.I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

When the battery is charging, there is a flashing amber light. When fully charged, there is a solid amber light. Hope that helps.

Make sure its fully charged. I only figures this out after testing it out and seeing very short videos of the test. I know there has been some complaints of malfunctioning, but mine works fine.

I believe there's a light that flashes while it's charging, but it remains solid once it's full charged. It takes several hours to charge completely.

You should see a few lights on the side where you switch on the power. If the light is green that mean it's charged and if it's red that indicates it needs to be charged. .

Make sure the "on" switch is OFF when you plug it in to charge it, the red light will come ON if its charging. It wont charge if the switch is still "on", like I've done a couple times when I let it run out of power while I was watching it. I forgot to turn it "Off" and it didnt charge when I plugged it in to charge. If that doesnt work, then maybe your battery is defective and you could send it back if its under warrenty still.

There is a charging light that stays on while the battery is charging; the 'maximum charging' light does not stay on the entire time on mine, and mine works fine. So - maybe you should have yours checked out or return it..

I do not think it was charged at first. When I plug it in, it lights up yellow/orange. Then when charged, it goes dark. But when I turn it on with the switch it flashed blue.... its in pairing mode. Then it connects

I've personally never experienced the flashing light on this specific model, but I know from other chargers that the flashing light usually indicates that either the battery is not making good contact with the charger terminals or the cell is indeed dead. If you have already tried switching the battery around to the different slots and you get the same result each time, then most likely it is the latter. If you have any other chargers around the house, you could always see if you get a different result using one of those.

Hi. I started charging mine as soon as I unboxed it. It had some charge to it but not 100%. So far mine is ok but I hope both of us didn't get a refurbished product. Maybe someone else will reply too.

No battery charge indicator. Not even an indicator to let you know the charging is complete. All it has is a blinking led telling you it is charging, but it never stops blinking!

I was able to replace my battery. But right now its always blinking on one bar. It seems to be charging now though so I will be patient and let it charge. Hope fully bars will return. When its charging the bars blink right? Mine doesn't do that anymore. @Richard L How did it strip the battery case?

if the lights are not flashing while charging, then the battery pack is completely charged. if after you plug in the cord into the USB and your phone is not charging, simply press the power button (do not hold press) and it should start charging.

When to charge is still in question. The unit flashes until it is fully charged. SO far it is a good light, I have had multiple comments on the brightness and have crashed with it and it held up fine.
